Ally Wallace – Travelogue

In January 2016, Ally Wallace exhibited Travelogue, an exhibition expanding on drawings made during a walk around the Barrow town centre. Initially intending to work from the architecture of the exhibition space, he later said that he felt compelled to leave the building and wander in the town, stopping to sketch as he went.

The resulting sketches became the source for a series of drawings and prints he developed in his studio, and which he constructed into an elegant installation for Art Gene’s Landing Gallery.

Ally Wallace is an artist based in Glasgow. He works with the process of drawing to create artworks in response to architectural locations – looking at the relationship between buildings and their usage.

Throughout his career he has received major awards and has exhibited his work internationally. He graduated with BA (hons) in painting from University of Sunderland, in 1985, and MA in Site-Specific Sculpture (with Distinction) from Wimbledon College of Art, in 1998.
